I believe I had a copy of "The Book of Linux Music & Sound" by Dave 
Phillips [1] back in the day, and seem to recall it was a good 
introduction at the time.  It looks like the author has a related web 
site [2].


Other options include installing "Planet CCRMA at home" [3] and/or 
getting involved in that community.
